Hi everyone
My question is as followed:
One major strategy to solve a sentence correction problem is to scan the answer choices, to find a 2 -3 way split on a grammatical rule , choose a side and repeat till we have the right answer.
In order to do that efficiently, it is best to highlight the words in all the answer choices that are the subject of the grammatical split. While this strategy works wonderfully on a paper exam, it can't be done on a computerized exam, as you cannot highlight the word on the screen.
So what is the best way to implement the splitting strategy on the day of the exam when facing a computerized format of the exam?
Thank you

Yep! it's tough!
You have to keep a mental track of it.

but hope you are writing A,B,C,D,E (phew!!) on paper and crossing the choice which get's caught with the culprit!!

Some people make a grid beforehand, for using while answering multiple questions

A grid is a good idea, as is writing some information down on paper. Also, don't rule out the possibility of physically placing your fingers on the screen to identify the splits. You can't write on the screen, but no one is going to stop you from touching it.. :)
